This project required
14,000 CY of dredging and 23,000 CY of rock excavation for the entrance channel, turning
basin, and berthing areas. A 600-ft revetment was constructed utilizing 3,200 tons
of armor stone and 1,600 tons of bedding stone. A series of 33 round fenders were
installed along the new east stone revetment. The new dock wall was constructed out
of 60 H-beams drilled and grouted into the rock and anchored with 2" tie rods
attached to pre-cast deadman; and 10,000 SF of timber lagging. The wall was
backfilled with 10,000 tons of granular fill and capped with reinforced concrete. A
series of steel sheet pile cells were constructed to help the Niagara in and out of the
berthing area. |
